Blind date turned proposal (Josie and Dexter) novel Chapter 30

“How could you listen in?” she said in annoyance with a blush on her face.

How could he do that?

“If my memory serves me right, you are standing right in front of my car.” He enunciated every syllable clearly, leaving her dumbfounded.

Since she was at a loss for words, she clapped her hand and showed the results of her practice moments ago. “Since you heard everything, do I have the honor to cook for you?”

“No.”

How ruthless.

This time around, Josie honestly had no reply for him.

Since she was young, her father taught her to always repay one’s kindness.

She remembered how Dexter had helped her all this while. If he didn’t ask Calvin to fix her laptop, she wouldn’t have been able to take revenge on Samantha.

However, after mustering her courage, he rejected her offer.

Slightly crestfallen, she was about to nod and escape the awkward situation.

Suddenly, he spoke. “We’re going to the hospital tonight.”

“Are we visiting your grandfather?”

“We are fetching him home today.”

In the car, Josie finally knew that he had fully recovered and was whining about going home, but Dexter had been busy. He only had some free time to fetch Henry home in the evening.

“Are you the only grandson? Where are the–” she blurted out but managed to catch herself halfway.

His eyes were shut. The neon lights from the surroundings outside reflected onto his exquisite face.

“My grandfather only has a son – my father. He passed when I was little. Grandpa is the one who brought me up, so it must be me to take care of him. I feel uneasy if other relatives took over,” he explained coolly, as though it was unrelated to him. However, the words ‘it must be me’ asserted his dominance.
